Good morning everyone from Inverness where it’s still very cold with snow flurries in the air. Good that you’re getting your medication sorted out mick take care and hope you get your second vaccine soon.
We had a lovely day yesterday looking after DGD, it was so cold we had to stay in and enjoyed lots of cuddles, a little bit of her favourite tv programe, some baking and a Harry Potter jigsaw!
Today DH and I are getting well wrapped up and we’re off for a walk somewhere..
Your trip to Brixham sounded lovely Ash to be on a bus and a museum trip- a little bit of normality gradually returning.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, take care all whatever the day brings ?

Morning all from a cold and frosty south coast. -2.9c on my weather station but it is sunny and clear so should warm up soon. Glad we haven't yet put our calamondin orange tree out, as DH wanted to do. It sits in the study in its pot over winter and out in the garden once the threat of frost has gone.

Your day out in Brixham sounds lovely, Ashcombe. I think I need something like that to lift my spirits, which are struggling a bit. We can't plan anything yet with DH's health issues and are waiting for our second jabs too so need to be available for them at short notice if the call for the first jabs is anything to go by. I tell myself that our day will come in the hope that it soon does!

Hope the day is a good one for us all. sunshine

An earlier than usual good morning from a white Northampton. Have woken up here to a layer of snow over everything. It looks very pretty, but it feels really chilly. Was planning on cutting the grass, but that won't be happening today!

Didn't do a lot yesterday, but managed a walk to the postbox to send a card for my niece's wedding on Saturday. They were due to be married last August, and were having a big family wedding but of course Covid put a stop to that. They have now decided to have a very small registry office wedding and delay the big party until it is safe to do so.

Nothing planned for today but complete my Sainsbury's order for tomorrow. I fancy a kedgeree, so will add some smoked haddock to the order.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Good morning from Essex by the sea where the sun is shining and the sky is blue but it is cold ?..
A trip to the post office this morning and then a walk by the sea.
DH is having a biopsy on the lesion by his ear this afternoon, ???.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the quilt GM. I finished my first large cross Stitch yesterday, it's taken me three months. Now to get it washed, pressed and framed.
Have the best Wednesday you can and look for those ??? xx

Good morning from the Sefton coast where the sky is pretty shades of pink, blue and dove grey. No white stuff here.
Yesterday, having changed the bed, cleaned and vacuumed, I had some retail therapy and came home with a metal flamingo. I also bought some packs of bulbs but will wait for warmer weather.
Last night DGD had her first visit from the tooth fairy. The tooth, however, has gone AWOL!
Today will be spent making loaded potatoes for the freezer and baking bread.
I’d love to see your quilt grandMattie - another masterpiece from you.
Thinking of those who face troubles and need a hug.

Good morning. Clear skies here in north Surrey, have my thermals out ready for my PT session at 8 this morning.
I am getting my hair done this morning!! She is in the family and offered, I couldn’t say no. I can’t wait to have short, spiky hair again instead of a mass of unruly curls.
This afternoon another visit to mum and dad, will take my cleaning bits with me. Will go via the garden centre near them to get some runner bean, and marrow seeds for the allotment. Their shop is huge so will have a good mooch, I always enjoy the card section. Will get one to send to my niece and her fiancé, they have their medicine finals over the next few weeks and have been studying very hard for them.
No boys this week as DD has taken annual leave, the house always seems so quiet without them. I think DH and I appreciate the peace and quiet more when they have gone.
Thought to all those with worries and illness. Hope today will bring some sunshine and smiles

Morning all from a frosty North Leicestershire

We had quite a few snow showers yesterday which prompted the family WhatsApp group to erupt with photos and worries about vegetable plants hardening off.

DH is driving today and our occasional gardener is coming today - she is going to move some shrubs for us.

Enjoy your days everyone..

Good morning everyone from Severnside. My car roof is covered in snow.

A homeworking day today and I’ve got to start to think about the things I need to get for my various jobs I want to tackle before summer.

I love to see the quilts on here. Although I like to sew I don’t think I have got the patience to do it myself but do appreciate the work that goes into them.

Good thoughts for all. There are still some worries lurking ?

Good morning, Mick, grandMattie and any other early risers from a chilly Torbay where it almost snowed yesterday and could today.

My trip to Brixham was a success, with both buses being nearly empty so the journey was easy. Normally, in a school holiday, we would have many visitors making everywhere much busier, but these are not normal times!

The museum was most interesting and the few of us who attended enjoyed taking turns at rôle playing characters or pretending to be the visiting public with challenging questions. It reminded me of my time in Staffs with a musical theatre company when we performed pantomime in which improvisation played a crucial part. It was great to meet up with contacts only seen on Zoom for several months.

I look forward to seeing the finished article, grandMattie and I’m sure your DGS will be glad of its size!

My thoughts are with those with worries and my wish is for everyone to stay warm and well. ?

Good morning from a frosty but sunny E Kent.
Got nothing on today, just trying to finish quilt. It is huge , 7ft x 8 ft!
Hope today finds people in a reasonable place, mental and physical.
Stay safe.
